Here's an easy one, with just enough complexity to make golfing non-trivial.

Input

  1. A list of non-negative numbers representing people waiting in line for Thanksgiving dessert. The first (leftmost) number is first in line, and the list can contain repeats (think of each number as a person's first name):
Note: Pie not part of actual input.

        (
         )
    __..---..__
,-='  /  |  \  `=-.
:--..___________..--;   6 4 3 1 2 3 0
\.,_____________,./

  1. A non-empty subset of that list, representing a group of colluding friends who will "chat and cut" to skip ahead in line. All colluders will move just behind the friend already closest to the front of the line, but otherwise retain their relative positions. Everyone they skip past will also retain their relative position.

Output

The new list, after a successful (possibly multi-way) chat and cut. For example, in the list above, for a friend group of 0 2 4, the output would be:

6 4 2 0 3 1 3

If the friend group was 4 3, the output would be:

6 4 3 3 1 2 0

Notes

This is code golf with standard site rules.

  • A single colluder x in the colluder list makes everyone in line with that number a colluder.
  • The list of people waiting may contain repeats.
  • The colluder list will not contain repeats.
  • The colluder list may not be sorted.
  • The colluder list will have between 2 and U items, where U is the number of unique elements in the queuer list.

Test Cases

The format is:

  1. People in line.
  2. List of colluders.
  3. Output.
5 4 3 2 1 0
3 1
5 4 3 1 2 0

      ®‹ #  Check that the duplicated check is smaller than `®`
         #  (1 if truthy; 0 if falsey)

Here the same TIOs with map instead of sort-by, so you can see any leading non-friends become 0, all friends become 0 as well, and any non-friends after the first friend become 1:

-7 bytes thanks to @ovs

Try it online! All testcases.

I take a unique approach here using Python's sorted function, which performs a stable sort. Might not be the shortest Python approach, but it is interesting.

def f(x,y):  # x = input line, y = list of colluders
  m = min(map(x.index,y)) # index of the first colluder in line
  print
    x[:m] # The first m people do not change positions
    sorted(
      x[m:],   # we sort the people after the first m
      cmp,    # default comparison function
      y.count, # key function is y.count: returns 0 for numbers not in y
                 # and 1 for numbers in y
      1        # sort in descending order
    )

  • \$\begingroup\$ You can use the builtin cmp instead of None as the second argument of sorted. And min(map(x.index,y)) saves a few more bytes. \$\endgroup\$

Test cases and inspiration from ovs's solution.

We use [1<0..] to generate the list [False,True]. Having handled the prefix of non-colluding numbers, we then pass over the remainder twice, first to take colluding numbers, then to take non-colluding ones. A same-length alternative is:

JavaScript (ES10), 60 bytes

Expects (people)(subset), where people is an array and subset is a Set.

a=>b=>a.flatMap(i=>b.has(i)?j=a.filter(x=>j&b.has(x)):i,j=1)

Try it online!

Or Try it with map() to get a better picture of the process.

How?

The variable j is initially set to 1.

We walk through the queue with flatMap(). Each identifier i that is not included in the group of friends is copied as-is:

b.has(i) ? … : i

As soon as a guy from the group of friends is reached, we append all friends at once in their order of appearance in the queue, and assign the result to j:

j = a.filter(x => j & b.has(x))

Arrays holding at least two elements are turned into NaN when coerced to a number. So the next time a friend is encountered, j & b.has(x) will be falsy(1) and filter() will return an empty array. As a result, all following friends are ignored as expected.


(1): It could actually be truthy if j is updated to a singleton array holding an odd identifier. But that would mean that there's only one friend in the queue, so the test b.has(i) would not be triggered another time in that case anyway.
